Just as 18th century taverns served as the epicenter of the communities they served, so too does the Green Dragon Tavern & Museum in Carlsbad offer a warm, family-owned gathering place today for San Diego friends and neighbors of all ages. The welcoming atmosphere is surpassed only by the highly acclaimed and award winning menu. Each dish is curated by with a focus on seasonal, locally sourced and sustainable ingredients. Craft cocktails, wines and 20 rotating local beers on tap pair perfectly with our savory fare. Our guests rave about our Maine lobster rolls, Shepherd's Pie, hand-tossed pizzas, fresh seafood, and braised short rib to name a few.

As part of the dining experience, guests are invited to travel back in time to the days when our nation's founders met in secret at the original Green Dragon Tavern in Boston. Explore our museum; documents and antiquities from the colonial and Revolutionary War eras and learn more about our nation's founders and their everlasting legacies.

Our visit to The Green Dragon Tavern in Carlsbad was nothing short of exceptional! From the moment we walked in, the staff provided outstanding service, ensuring every detail was thoughtfully accommodated. The historic ambiance of the tavern adds a unique charm, making it more than just a dining spot—it’s an experience.

Our dining experience was perfect... we pretty much got seated close to our reservation time. Appetizers and cocktails came out in a reasonable time. Main courses came out together (we had a party of 6) and were delicious. Desert was fantastic. We never felt rushed, nor did we feel that they forgot about us. It was perfect. The ambiance of the place is really cool. While we were waiting to be seated, we checked out the museum... lot's a very cool early American (pilgrim type) stuff. I would recommend giving this place a try.

I can’t say enough wonderful things about this wonderful restaurant. The food is consistently delicious and the staff are the best anywhere. My friend and I shared a beet salad with salmon. Delaney split it in the back and cooked my salmon rare and my friend’s portion medium. Such thoughtful customer service. A great spot for birthday celebrations. I love 💕 Paul and this family.

The food here is always delicious- hearty, well prepared and generous portions. The service was a little off on my most recent visit- had to make requests for silverware, water refills, a coffee was forgotten, though the server was very polite and tried to be helpful. Maybe new or just distracted? Still a very good experience and I will go back.

While the food was ok, and understanding that it was a busy Thanksgiving, we waited a 1/2 hour for our reservation to be honored, and were asked three times for our name at the very disorganized entry. Inside, there were many empty, unset tables. No ambiance. Then the fun began! Went to the buffet twice before a single glass of the wine we ordered was served. Not even water was offered! Had to ask three times for our drinks. Very young, untrained and overwhelmed staff. Surprisingly, this restaurant offers a holiday buffet every year, so don’t know why it was so disorganized and staff so flustered. If they can’t handle it, maybe don’t do it? Very expensive for what was offered.
